I'm so proud to be a Minnesota punk now!

Conservatives Blacklisted!
It has recently come to our attention that there are several music venues that are blacklisting conservative artists. I was recently informed by Michale Graves that two venues, which his band Gotham Road was scheduled to play on their upcoming national tour, have backed out due to his political beliefs.
We at Conservative Punk are sickened by this blatant display of discrimination and intolerance, and urge you to speak out and voice your displeasure with this recent rash of left wing McCarthyism. The contact information for the two venues is as follows:
The Bottom Lounge
3206 N. Wilton Chicago, IL 60657
Phone: [phone] [email protected]
The Triple Rock Social Club
629 Cedar Avenue Minneapolis, MN 55404
Phone: [phone] - Fax: [phone] [email protected]

go Triple Rock!

1. Ha!

I proudly frequent the Bottom Lounge. Good for them. I'm sure a conservative punk boycott will make such a difference to them. <sarcasm off>

2. I don't think anyone's afraid of a boycott of the smallest group since...

African-Americans for Wallace.

3. No shit!

The only conservative punks I know (more accurately, knew) were the racist skinhead punks of the eighties (I'm old, you see). Nobody liked them, since they took a movement and tried to co-opt it into something it wasn't, racist and evil. Believe it or not, skinheads used to be nice guys, not the stereotypical paramilitary white supremacists they've turned into.
